    or Mike Hornsby.

    Now wondering who he was and how he supplanted Bruce in my memory.

    Maybe he was the model trains guy.

    Joe Jackson – ‘Steppin Out’ ?

    I remember 1983 fresh out of school driving around Birmingham City Centre after dark on way to a club in a friend’s metallic green Fiat X1-9 with this playing on the tape machine. Stellar flashback!

    Oh, and surely GTA Vice City OST?!

    In a slighty off-topic kind of way, we went to the MotoGP at the weekend and stumbled across a Mexican eighties cover band, and they were FANTASTIC. There’s no eighties music like Mariachi eighties music. 😀

    For those of us over-biked and under-pedalled:

    Weak in the Presence of Beauty by Alison Moyet

    Oh, its a long time since I saw you
    Well you know how time can fly
    It seems like yesterday we were lovers
    Now we pass each other by
    But if we’re left alone tonight, don’t ask me to hold you tight
    I go weak
    I go weak
    I go weak
    I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty

    I think that long drives – especially late night ones, are great for concept albums

    eg: Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWipIji35Cg
